It has been shown that many plants will grow normally if given both red and blue light. However, studies indicate that while red and blue light provides the most cost-efficient method of providing light for growth but plant growth is improved with lighting supplemented with green.
NASA has tested LED grow lights for their high efficiency in growing food in space for extraterrestrial colonization. Findings have shown that plants are affected by light in the red, green and blue portions of the visible light spectrum.
We find many LED lamps suppliers use arbitrary numbers that suggest their belief of what the power of the HID lamp being replaced might be. We use the true input or draw that the lamps uses so you can compare apples to apples. Determination of true PPF values is the best means of comparison.
One can expect a decidedly better result with our 1020 Watt lamp compared to a 1000 Watt HID product.
What are some of the benefits of using LED Grow Lights?
